Customers drive from Short Hills, Millburn, Summit, and Chatham. Here's what a few of them had to say.
"Drove from Short Hills with a MacBook Pro that had a completely shattered screen. Dave's quoted me on the spot, had it done in two days, and came in way cheaper than the Apple Store. Screen looks perfect. Absolutely worth the drive."
"My work laptop started showing a blue screen every morning. Dave's ran a full diagnostic, found a failing drive, recovered everything, and had it back to me next day. They could have charged more — they didn't. That's rare."
"I manage IT for a small financial firm in Summit and Dave's has become our go-to for anything we can't handle in-house. Fast, professional, and they actually explain what they did. No jargon, no upselling. Highly recommend."
We're in Somerville on N Bridge St. From Short Hills, take I-78 West or Route 24 West to Route 206 North — straightforward highway drive with free parking when you arrive.
We don't have a location in Short Hills — and we're upfront about that. What we do have is a shop that's been at the same address in Somerville since 2011, a flat-rate process with no surprises, and technicians who pick up the phone and give you straight answers.
Short Hills and Millburn residents often make the I-78 drive because the local alternatives — Geek Squad at a big box store, or shipping a MacBook to Apple and waiting three weeks — just don't compare on price, speed, or communication. Drop it off, go about your day, pick it up fixed.
The Apple Store, Geek Squad, and mail-in services all exist. Here's the honest comparison.
Short Hills is one of the wealthiest communities in New Jersey — and that shapes exactly what comes through our door from that area.
Short Hills and Millburn residents tend to run high-end machines — MacBook Pros, Dell XPS, Lenovo ThinkPads, Microsoft Surface devices — often loaded with work-critical files, financial documents, and irreplaceable personal data. The stakes are higher when something fails. Our Sentinel-7 diagnostic catches drive issues before they become catastrophic, and our flat-rate quoting process means you know the cost before anything is touched.
A large portion of Short Hills households include finance, law, or consulting professionals working remotely part or full time. When a primary work machine goes down, it's not an inconvenience — it's a lost billing day. We prioritize fast turnaround on exactly these situations. Most diagnostics are completed same-day, and straightforward repairs are often done within 24 hours of drop-off.
The nearest Apple Store to Short Hills is in Millburn — and Genius Bar appointments often run weeks out for anything beyond a quick swap. We're an independent Mac repair option with no appointment queue. MacBook screen replacements, battery swaps, keyboard repairs, and macOS issues are among the most common repairs we handle from Essex County customers. Same flat-rate process, often faster turnaround.
Older machines that "just run slow" are one of the most common complaints we hear from Short Hills-area customers. Every machine runs through our Sentinel-7 stress diagnostic when it comes in. More than 30% of computers diagnosed for slowness turn out to have a failing drive — and catching it before it crashes is the difference between a simple SSD upgrade and a full data recovery. We'd rather tell you early than have you lose everything.
Independent, honest, and in business since 2011. Here's what that actually means.

Bring it in and tell us at drop-off. We do our best to turn around urgent jobs quickly — most diagnostics are same-day and many common repairs are done within 24 hours. We can't guarantee same-day completion on everything, but we'll tell you upfront what's realistic for your specific repair.
